Friday announcements

Next week, track practice will be for all team members on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Students must have their physical and contract in to stay for practice.

We have had several phones and electronic devices missing in the past few days. When a student reports something missing, we ask that they write up a description so that I can announce it. If you find an item, you need to turn it into the office. If it is found in your possession, and has been reported missing, we treat it as a theft. This is a suspendible offense! Please help us return items to their rightful owners by turning them in at the office.

There is information about the SHG Cheerleading tryouts on Mrs. Heyen's table. The informational meting is April 14th. Tryout clinics are April 28-May 1. Tryouts are May 2nd. One of our former LMS students was on their squad for three years.

Parents, we have a spring field trip planned at each grade level. These trips are all related to the curriculum for that grade level, and enhance the learning experience for your student. If it is a financial burden for you to pay the trip fee, PLEASE call the office and talk to Mrs. Kruger. We do not want any student to miss out on these opportunities due to finances.

Lanphier High School is holding POMS clinics and tryouts. Packets will be available at the meeting and after April 1st. Clinics will be held on April 9th and 10th, with tryouts on April 11th.

Just a reminder that students with the 1-to-1 computers have a HUGE responsibility in protecting those computers! If you do not have the insurance rider on your home owner's policy, State Farm offers it for $30 a year. With screen repairs costing $775.00, the rider is a good investment. Please call Fredia Hawthorne at 217 529-4935 for a Personal Article Policy. You would only qualify for it if you have a good claims history, but it is worth checking into.

Students should not have cell phones or electronic devices visible in the hallways. I-pods are to be used in class with teacher approval only! Visible items will be confiscated. Cell phones are to be used after school OUTSIDE, during lunch in the main office.
